Manchester United are expected to part ways with coach Michael Carrick after a disappointing start to the Premier League season.
According to BBC Sport, the club’s leadership will determine Carrick’s future at a Wednesday meeting in Monaco, with chief executive Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox, and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe all expected to be present.
Berrada and Wilcox are reportedly set to recommend that Carrick be dismissed as United weigh a change in leadership.
The Red Devils have had a tough campaign, winning only one of their first 10 league matches and going without a victory since August. Their place in the relegation zone marks their lowest position at this point of a top-flight season since 1986-87, when they sat 20th.
In the meantime, United have reportedly begun talks with former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino about the possibility of taking charge at Old Trafford.
The 54-year-old currently manages the United States national team, a role he took on in September 2024. He signed a contract extension in August and is said to have a $10 million (£7.5 million) release clause.
Pochettino has been considered for the Manchester United job three times before: after Jose Mourinho’s departure in 2018, ahead of Erik ten Hag’s appointment in 2022, and following Ten Hag’s dismissal in 2024.
The Argentine had successful spells in the Premier League with Southampton and Tottenham, leading Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final. He also managed Paris Saint-Germain before his time at Chelsea.
With Carrick’s future uncertain, Wednesday’s meeting could be decisive in shaping the next direction of Manchester United’s managerial project.
